Phys. Rev. D 59, 123001 (1999) [5 pages]Gamma photons from parametric resonance in neutron starsReceived 4 January 1999; published 5 May 1999 Shock waves in cold nuclear matter, e.g., those induced by a collision of two neutron stars, can generate a large number of gamma photons via parametric resonance. We study the resonant production of gamma rays inside a shocked neutron star and discuss the possible astrophysical consequences of this phenomenon. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
